Abstract
Systems and methods for ultra-high reliability (UHR) wireless communications systems and methods are disclosed. The disclosed UHR wireless communications systems and methods make the networked components on a communications infrastructure robust to interference caused by unintentional jamming, intermittent connectivity, weather, and physical barriers.
Claims14
A communications system, comprising:
- three or more communication nodes in communication with one another;
- at least one information source providing information to at least one of the three or more communication nodes;
- and
- at least one client network in communication with at least one node of the three or more nodes;
- wherein the three or more communication nodes each comprise two or more different types of communications based wireless communication devices;
- and
- wherein each of the three or more nodes each comprise a processor configured to select one of the two or more wireless communication devices to communicate information received from the at least one information source based on a determination of the reliability of wireless communications between the three or more nodes;
- and
- wherein the three or more communication nodes are located on three or more separate corresponding mobile platforms;
- and
- wherein the two or more different types of communications based communications devices are different devices and are selected from a group consisting of radio frequency devices, and optical transmission devices.
8 more elements
A method for robust communications, comprising:
- receiving information into one or more of three or more communication nodes;
- determining at the one of more of three or more receiving nodes the most reliable communication path type from one of two or more wireless communication devices at each of the one or more of three or more receiving nodes for passing the information through at least one additional node of the three or more communication nodes to a client network;
- transmitting the information from the one or more of three or more nodes having received the information through the most reliable wireless communication path type via the one of two or more wireless communication devices;
- and
- receiving the information at the client network;
- and wherein the three or more communication nodes are located on three or more separate corresponding mobile platforms;
- and
- wherein the most reliable wireless communication path type is selected from the group consisting of radio frequency and optical communications.
